WOODEN B.S. Florida State University, 2007 M.S. Florida State University, 2008 M.S. University of Central Florida, 2011 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2018 Major Professor: Pamela McCauley ABSTRACT Over 60% of US adults are overweight or obese. Sedentary lifestyles are considered major contributors to the high rates and increasing prevalence of obesity. Physical activity is a critical component in shifting from sedentary lifestyles. Studies indicate that less than half of U.S. adults meet the CDC/ACSM physical activity recommendations. Interactive video games can increase PA, but no study has yet assessed physiologic effort, hedonics, and perceived exertion for playing immersive virtual reality (VR) and controller-free screen-based active video games (AVGs), compared to treadmill walking and resting. We ran 25 subjects (9 female, 16 male) in 10-minute sessions of five conditions. Head Mounted Display VR: Oculus (Fruit Ninja and Boxing), Screen-based AVG: Kinect (Fruit Ninja and Boxing), and Treadmill walking at 3 mph. One, six- condition (Rest, Treadmill 3.0, Kinect Boxing, Kinect Fruit Ninja, Oculus Boxing, Oculus Fruit Ninja) repeated-measures ANOVA was used to examine differences in HRmean. Three, five-condition (Treadmill 3.0, Kinect Boxing, Kinect Fruit Ninja, Oculus Boxing, Oculus Fruit Ninja) repeated-measures ANOVA were used to examine differences in HRpeak, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and Hedonics (Liking). Post hoc analyses using pairwise comparisons were used to further assess significant main effects of the condition. A Pearson's product-moment correlation was run to assess the relationship between activity condition HRmean and RPE VR Boxing elicited the greatest physiological effort, producing vigorous-intensity PA. There was no significant difference in average heart rate for the Treadmill, Kinect Fruit ii Ninja, Kinect Boxing, and VR Fruit Ninja. Thus, the Kinect and VR sport and casual games are comparable to treadmill walking PA levels and qualify as moderate-intensity activity. The VR Fruit Ninja, VR Boxing, Kinect Fruit Ninja were the most enjoyed activities. Despite having the highest Heart rate and the highest self-reported Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), VR Boxing was significantly more enjoyable than Treadmill Walking. There was no statistically significant correlation between Activity Condition HRmean and RPE. Both casual and sports VR and AVG activities are enjoyable activities for adults, stimulating moderate-to-vigorous activity through a traditionally sedentary medium. This research extends previous works in active video gaming effects on physiological cost, perceived exertion and hedonics and fills the gap relating virtual reality active video games. The significance of the research outcomes is that this analysis provides a scientifically validated approach to support the establishment of physical activity level goals and guidelines in the development of active video games as a response and/or remedy to address the sedentary lifestyles that are contributing to American and global obesity. iii As I stare at this blank page, formulating the thoughts and words to describe this dedication, I am flooded with memories: Flashbacks of Encyclopedia Jeopardy, countless over-the-top science fair projects, extended lectures on “can’t” and “try,” and talks at-length about entrepreneurship and how to avoid starving artist syndrome. You were, are, and will always be my first and greatest inspiration and the wind beneath my wings. I soar without a worry because of your sacrifices. I can see the world through rose-colored glasses because you envisioned the best for me. I exist without limits because you ensured I wouldn’t fear a challenge and was prepared for any opportunity. Daddy, your legacy lives on and I will forever honor you. I dedicate this dissertation as my most humble demonstration of your sacrificial efforts. This journey was never for me, it was for us. WE made it! First-generation, Ph.D.! Dr. Wooden - just like you exclaimed me to be! I only wish I could hear you shout it, in person. --With love, honor, and gratitude, this one’s for you, Daddy! iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I give honor to God, for this journey would be impossible without persistent faith and God’s favor. It is my greatest pleasure to express my most genuine gratitude to my mentor and advisor, Dr. McCauley. I am extraordinarily grateful to you for supporting and steering my academic efforts to ensure that I not only complete this task, but that I have meaningful work along the way. Dr. Rabelo, you have been instrumental in the execution of my experiment and without a single complaint, helped to give me legs on campus, with the various documents that I needed. Dr. Karwowski, I appreciate your expertise and insight in this dissertation process. Your input provided for great improvement and extension of my studies. Dr. Fukuda, I am quite honored for you to be a part of my committee. Your knowledge and practical experience has been a great asset to this research. I appreciate each of your contributions and your dedication to ensuring this research exemplifies the product of a proud and distinguished UCF Doctoral Scholar.

  • Sony Sells US-Based Online Game Unit 3 February 2015
    Sony sells US-based online game unit 3 February 2015 including its laptop business and Manhattan headquarters, in a bid to claw back to steady profitability after years of massive losses. Founded in 2000, New York-based Columbus Nova manages more than $15 billion in assets, through its own funds and affiliated portfolio companies, according to the statement from the company. In 2010, it bought Harmonix Music Systems, maker of Rock Band and Dance Central, from Viacom. © 2015 AFP Fans play games at Sony booth during the annual E3 video game extravaganza in Los Angeles, California, on June 10, 2014 Japan's Sony has sold its online gaming unit to a US investment firm, in a move that should free it to make titles for consoles other than PlaySation. New York investment management firm Columbus Nova has acquired Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), maker of the popular 3D fantasy multiplayer game EverQuest, the companies said in a statement on Monday. The deal—financial terms were not disclosed—will see the former Sony unit operate as an independent game development studio under the name Daybreak Game Company. Columbus Nova, based in New York, already owns the maker of the music video game Rock Band. The move will mean the renamed company can develop games for mobile devices and non-Sony consoles, such as Microsoft's Xbox, it said. EverQuest competes with the popular World Of Warcraft title.

  • A Methodology for Physical Creativity
    Suit The System To The Player: A Methodology for Physical Creativity Jane Friedhoff Parsons, The New School For Design 79 Fifth Avenue, Floor 16 New York, NY 10011 +1 (212) 229 - 8908 [email protected] ABSTRACT The PS Move, Kinect, and Wii tout their technological capabilities as evidence that they can best support intuitive, creative movements. However, games for these systems tend to use their technology to hold the player to higher standards of conformity. This style of game design can result in the player being made to 'fit' the game, rather than the other way around. It is worthwhile to explore alternatives for exertion games, as they can encourage exploration of long-dormant physical creativity in adults and potentially create coliberative experiences around the transgression of social norms. This paper synthesizes a methodology including generative outputs, multiple and simultaneous forms of exertion, minimized player tracking, irreverent metaphors, and play with social norms in order to promote. Scream 'Em Up tests this methodology and provides direction for future research. Keywords game design, physical creativity, embodied play, coliberation INTRODUCTION A major trend in console design is the development of increasingly sophisticated technology for tracking physical movement. The PS Move, Kinect, Wii, and other platforms largely eschew traditional controllers, instead asking the players to move their bodies or use their voices to interact with the system. Such systems tout their technological power as a shorthand for supporting more intuitive, more natural movement. The Kinect's marketing is emblematic of this: advertisements state, “you are the controller. […] If you have to kick, then kick, if you have to jump, then jump.

  • GAMING GLOBAL a Report for British Council Nick Webber and Paul Long with Assistance from Oliver Williams and Jerome Turner
    GAMING GLOBAL A report for British Council Nick Webber and Paul Long with assistance from Oliver Williams and Jerome Turner I Executive Summary The Gaming Global report explores the games environment in: five EU countries, • Finland • France • Germany • Poland • UK three non-EU countries, • Brazil • Russia • Republic of Korea and one non-European region. • East Asia It takes a culturally-focused approach, offers examples of innovative work, and makes the case for British Council’s engagement with the games sector, both as an entertainment and leisure sector, and as a culturally-productive contributor to the arts. What does the international landscape for gaming look like? In economic terms, the international video games market was worth approximately $75.5 billion in 2013, and will grow to almost $103 billion by 2017. In the UK video games are the most valuable purchased entertainment market, outstripping cinema, recorded music and DVDs. UK developers make a significant contribution in many formats and spaces, as do developers across the EU. Beyond the EU, there are established industries in a number of countries (notably Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand) who access international markets, with new entrants such as China and Brazil moving in that direction. Video games are almost always categorised as part of the creative economy, situating them within the scope of investment and promotion by a number of governments. Many countries draw on UK models of policy, although different countries take games either more or less seriously in terms of their cultural significance. The games industry tends to receive innovation funding, with money available through focused programmes.
